Democrats held a campaign kickoff rally Wednesday in Harlem ahead of the party’s national convention next week in Chicago.

For some elected officials, it was an opportunity for a reset with the presidential ticket.

“We are going to set Chicago on fire ‘cause this girl is on fire,” City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said Wednesday.

The message wasn’t all roses.

“Parts of New York City are battle grounds y’all. We got to fight right here in our own state,” the council speaker said.

New York Democrats have been regrouping after facing losses in key congressional districts back in 2022.

The losses were noticed by top Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who later appeared to blame Gov. Kathy Hochul for failing to communicate to voters about crime.

Hochul on Wednesday was determined not to make that same mistake.

“The nation is watching us and expecting us to deliver the United States House of Representatives and deliver it in the hands of the next Speaker Hakeem Jeffries,” she said. "Our very own Hakeem Jeffries will be the speaker."

Hochul called for boots on the ground in half a dozen battleground districts.

“I need you to go find Nassau County and Suffolk County and Westchester County and Ulster County and Orange County and Sullivan County and head over to Onondaga County. Can you do that for me?" Hochul told the crowd. "Don’t do it for me. Do it for our country. Do it for our nation."

Mayor Eric Adams was also billed a special guest for the rally. In his remarks, he strongly backed Kamala Harris and struck a tone of unity, looking to mend relations with the top national officials.

“It is time for us to be laser focused,” the mayor said. “All of us must become the ambassadors for the change that we are looking for.”

He fell out of favor with the Biden administration for blaming the president for playing a role in New York’s migrant crisis.

“It is challenging bringing all Democrats together. We said in Albany it’s like herding cats,” the mayor said. “But all of us know that these cats, we got one rat. And it’s about winning this White House.”

The mayor was interrupted by several pro-Palestinian protesters who made their way inside and gathered in larger numbers outside.

“I am here for VP Harris. Who are you here for?” he continued.

Democratic delegates head to Chicago next week for the national convention set to start Monday.
